Bagstones and Friends

Boy am I nostalgic for bag characters.or guns for babies promoted by cute cuddly cartoon friendsor celebrating Jesus's last days a million years before he's bornor any kind of cartoon thing in a bag. What is it about bags and cartoons that go together?I would kill for that setup of Plasticene Yogi in Threadville Park. Someone replicate it for me.Sorry, I haven't put up any posts of special moment lately; I am buried in gathering and choosing art for the Spumco book. Eric Bauza just showed up with some great Nick Cross stuff from an unproduced episode of Ren and Stimpy- an epic.

There's an article in the back of the most recent issue of Vanity Fair (the Hollywood issue) about the ladies that colored the Disney cartoons back in the forties. I ahvent' read it yet, but I thought you would be interested.

John, I've been a fan of this blog, and Spumco for a long time. I am really excited for the book of art. If you need a designer to help with any layout and production of the book, I'd be glad to offer my services.

I've never made any financial donations to the site, but if you need any help bringing this book to life, I'd be glad to donate my time and talent. Thanks for taking the time to share all this great insight on animation, character development, and all the ins and outs on how to make our drawings better.

ps- i apologize for the spammy nature of this post, but i wasn't sure if you needed any design help.
